The loss of open habitats in Europe has led to severe declines in birds associated with these
habitats. However, certain ecological disturbances reverse the trend towards afforestation …

In large‐scale field surveys, a binary recording of each species' detection or nondetection

Despite extensive research on the effects of habitat fragmentation, the ecological
mechanisms underlying colonization and extinction processes are poorly known, but …

Shrubland birds have experienced widespread declines in the eastern United States.
Habitat for shrubland birds is typically dynamic, in which available habitat changes …

Many studies have demonstrated the importance of early‐successional forest habitat for
breeding bird abundance, composition, and diversity. However, very few studies directly link …

Conservation managers regularly burn vegetation to regenerate habitat for fire‐dependent
species. When determining the time since fire at which to burn, managers model change in a …

In this study, we tested the potential of restored areas to maintain biodiversity in the scope of
